Resolutions of the State Teachers
Association.

The most important resolutions of the
State Teachers Association are as follows:
i" Resoired, That in our opinion a more in
telligent and jealous supervision of schools
is one OF the most imperative educational
needs of this state; that we earnestly urge
all town superintendent to require in their
examination of teachers high standard of
excellence in scholarship and in ability to
teach; and that we also urge parents to
visit our schools more frequently.
" ReSolred, That we believe instruction in
temperance in our public schools to be de-
sirable and necessary, and we pledge our
selves to carry out the spirit of the law re-
Gently enacted.
" Resolred, That we firmly believe that
under the present system of schools a large
part of the money and energy which this
state devotes to the education of its young
is worse than wasted; that we believe that
the adoption of the town system of schools
is the next step forward which the state can
well take in educational advancement; that
we deplore the action of the last legislature
in reducing the possibility of this system
having fair trial in those towns where it
has been adopted by allowing a return to
the district system after two years, and that
we pledge ourselves to continued exertions
for the promotion of more healthy public
sentiment upon this question.
Res0lued, That the best interests of edu-
cation demand that the profession of the
teacher should be dgnifed and his power
for good increased by tenure OF Office legis-
latiOn."

Railroad Commissioners Reports.

THE following is the report of the railroad
commissioners in the matter of the COM
plant of the citizens of Cambridge against
the Burlington & Lamoille Railroad Com
pany: " This was a complaint for obstruct-
ing the flow of water and ice in branch of
the Lamoille river with abutments of bridge
neglect to maintain cattle-guards at cross
ings; damages occasioned by accumulation
of surface water The board appointed
Monday, January 81, ultimo, as the time,
and Cambridge as the place, of hearing.
Notice of said complaint and the time and
place of hearing was given to said corpora
ton, as required by law. At the time ap-
pointed for the hearing the compliments
and George l.. Linsley, general manager of
said railroad, met Commissioner T. G..
Fletcher, and before the arrival of the other
members of the board-the matters COM
planned of never having been brought to the
attention of the management of the rail-
road-an arrangement was made which, If
carried out by said corporation at the open
ing of spring, as contemplated, will dis
pense with the necessity of any further ac-
ton or recommendation by the board. The
other members of the board We're notified of
the arrangement and did not assemble.
Meantime the case is suspended, awaiting
the carrying out of said arrangement"
THE commissioners also held meeting in
Montpelier February 3, of which the follow
ing is "A report: "On Monday, January 18th,
ulllups AT duoui HlluultS past lu1ee
o'clock p. NJ, the rear cars of the mixed train
from Montpelier TO Wells River, on the
Montpelier & Wells River railroad, were
derailed at Barre junction and Mrs. c. II,
Farnsworth of Groton was injured. A re-
port of the accident was Immediately sent
10 the board by w. A. Stowell, superintend-
ent of said railroad, from which ii appeared
that no one was seriously injured and that
only slight damage was done to rolling
stock. The press reports of the following
day indicated, however, that very serious
consequences We're apprehended from the
| injuries which Mrs Farnsworth had re-
ceived, and that the accident was due to a
misplaced switch, thereby pointing to pos
sible negligence on the part of said corpora
ton Accordingly, preliminary eXamna-
ton was at once made by Commissioner L.
G. Fletcher and statements Were taken for
use in board The investigation was COM
pleted at the regular meeting of the board
February 2, w. A. Stowell, superintendent
of said railroad corporation, waving notice
of hearing. The evidence obtained and an
examination of the switch itself where the
deralment occurred 90 to show that the
staple which held the switch-latch in
place was broken, probably by the force OF
the passing train, thereby allowing the
switch TO slide so that the three rear car,
were thrown on the Barre branch track
after the eight forward cars had passed
safely over the switch on the main track
The switch is upon a siX-degree curve, anC
the train was moving over it, when the de
railment occurred, at a speed of about fif
| teen miles per hour. The first of the tire,
derailed cars was heavily loaded with coal

being car specially made for coal trans
portation. This car was pulled from the
Barre track by that part of the train going
on the main track and was dumped between
these tracks, striking telegraph pole there
standing and throwing the same across the
Barre track, so that the two following cars
to-wit, box-freght and passenger-car-
were thereby derailed. These two rear cars
were respectively dumped on the right and
left-hand side of said Barre track, about two
hundred feet from said switch. 1t appeared
that the switch was rightly set for the main
track Of the Montpelier & Wells River rail-
road, from the fact that the engine and
the first eight cars of the train passed
along over it all right. The conclusions of
the board are as follows: That the injuries
sustained by Mrs. Farnsworth were not of
serious nature, as indicated in the press
reports; that the accident was not caused
by the displacement Of the switch, as cur
rently reported but that from the evidence
before the board and from the examination
of the switch itself the same appears to
have been the result of a cause which could
not be foreseen, and that the same was not
owing to lack of proper care on the part OF
said corporation"
